Deep within my heart 
 I've been searching my way through 
 As the river is spreading the hue 
 From green to blue 
    Carry on the flame 
 Try to rule the lion's den 
 Storm the fortress of standstill again 
 And again   
 The powers that be 
 Shall try to break free 
 Don't ever try them to deny 
 They all could have wings 
 And then become kings 
 Holding the one the emerald eye   
 Velvet eyes of dawn I see 
 The miracle within 
 Velvet eyes of dawn in me 
 Outside looking in 
 The times are gone 
 While the clock ticks on and on 
 By the years we're holding on 
 For the velvet eyes of dawn   
 Color the pale sky 
 Try to find the holy grail 
 And the guardians of time will stand by 
 And praise your tale   
 The time to begin 
 The battle to win 
 Before the night obscures the sky 
 The shadows of eve 
 Will come to deceive 
 Before the well of life runs dry   
 One growing blossoms' smile 
 In moonlight for a while 
 Announcing one new spring 
 Dreaming to be king 
 Come joining the parade 
 Turn down your masquerade 
 Free as a bird of prey 
 Sail your ships off the bay   
 Velvet eyes of dawn I see 
 The miracle within 
 Velvet eyes of dawn in me 
 Outside looking in 
 The times are gone 
 While the clock ticks on and on 
 By the years we're holding on 
 For the velvet eyes of dawn
